Huang Hua got the Eastern Roman beauty Irina, very proud, he said to Tang Zhangwei; "Do you see if I have any signs of becoming an emperor!"

When Tang Zhangwei heard this, he was taken aback and said, "Are you tempting me?" ”

Huang Kuo was not happy, he said: "My brother Huang Chao and I are compatriots, this emperor did it, I can't do it?" ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "Accumulate grain, slow to become the king, is the best policy, today the order is not out of Tongzhou and Huazhou, Zhuge Shuang has not yet defeated the German army, Youzhou has not yet overcome, you better keep a low profile." Li Ke came from afar, Shatuo's elite soldiers are famous all over the world, let's be careful. ”

Huang Kuo said: "I heard that Li Keyong saved your life, I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "I am from the Tang Dynasty, and Li Keyong is from Shatuo. Everyone is not a family, how much friendship can they have? It's just that at that time, we were both forced by Zhu Wen and had no choice but to unite. ”

Huang Kui said: "What do you think of the heroes of the world? ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "Today, those who can be called heroes are nothing more than Footstep, Li Keyong, Zhu Wen and others. ”

Huang said: "Can Zhu Wen also be called a hero? ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "This person is greedy for money and lustful, but he can quickly recruit and appease the people, and he can be regarded as a hero." ”

Huang said: "What about Li Keyong? ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "When this person doesn't drink, he is brave and crowned the three armies, but after drinking, he is just a drunken fool." Hedong Jiedu made Zheng Congyan a rare loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty was difficult to return. ”

Li Keyong took the 15,000 steps given to him by his father Li Guochang, passed through Hedong, Taiyuan and other places, and rushed to Youzhou.

Tang Zhangwei said: "Li Ke used this person to be stubborn and self-serving, and he had an old enmity with Li Keju, but we broke the siege and left, joined forces with Zhuge Shuang, and first took Chengde Military Town." ”

Huang Kui thought so, and he ordered to get out of the way and occupy both sides.

When Tang Zhangwei's army left, the people burst into tears, and according to Tang Zhangwei's orders, the daily army drills were completed. The soldiers all helped the uncle and aunt carry water, and the captured ploughing cattle and so on, and also helped the common people's families plough the fields.

When Tang Zhangwei's cavalry troops quickly entered the town of Chengde Army, Li Keyong's troops had already come to the city of Youzhou, and the cavalry under the four thousand Huang Yu withdrew as soon as they made a slight contact.

Li Keyong was triumphant, thinking that he had rescued Youzhou, and he asked to enter the city.

Li Keju stood on top of the city tower, stroked his beard, and said, "Ask for advice tomorrow, the officials and the people are afraid today, and it is inconvenient to invite the army into the city." ”

Li Ke used to settle down the village, Li Ke ordered the cooks in the army, widely purchased cattle wine, and served Li Ke with the army under the city.

Li Keju personally hung down the city wall with a rope to comfort Li Keyong's army.

Li Ke drank wine and ate meat, and talked with Li Keju about world affairs.

Li Keju asked: "There are many heroes in the world, who can end this troubled era?" ”

Li Keyong said: "Today, if you calm down the feudal towns and stop the army, there will be no one else unless Li Keyong." ”

Li Keju ordered someone to give Li Ke wine, and asked: "I heard that the anti-thief Zhu Wen, benevolence, righteousness and love for the people, and thirsty for talent, can't he stabilize the world?" ”

Li Keyong said: "Zhu Wen Xiaoer, if you use people, you will take care of the thatched house, and if you don't use it, you will destroy the whole family, be mean, and you can't be the lord of the world." If Zhu Wen is a county guard who protects the people, he can barely make do, and Huang Chao appoints this person as a general, and he will be defeated! ”

Li Keju asked: "Can Huang Chao's general Shang Rang be called a hero?" ”

Li Keyong said: "If you talk about the ability to govern the country, Datang will surpass him by a random jinshi." If you want to talk about marching and fighting, although Li Keyong is not talented, he can capture Shang Rang alive in a month. Huang Chao, as well as the princes in the Tang Dynasty, I didn't pay attention to it. ”

Li Keju asked: "The nephew is so brave, what are your plans?" ”

Li Keyong said: "If the people think about Tang, Keyong should be Guo Ziyi." If the common people resented the Tang Dynasty, they would be used as Liu Xiu, the Guangwu Emperor. ”

Li Keju was furious when he heard this, and thought: This Shatuo child, he has no words, and he is a hero in the world. If he gets Youzhou, I will be in danger.

Fortunately, Li Keju is an old feudal town after all, he held back the anger in his heart, and praised Li Keyong with good words.

Li Keyong thought that he had met a confidant, and the more he talked, the more he spoke, and the banquet lasted until midnight, and Li Ke got up to say goodbye.

Li Ke took Li Keju's hand and said, "Brother Keju, you and I should be brothers." ”

Li Keju said: "I am the same generation as your father, so it will mess up the generations. ”

Li Keyong said: "Today, there are soldiers and generals who are dominant, and I will take the position of Hedong Jiedu Envoy sooner or later, and when the time comes, you will train with me, exterminate Huangchao, flatten the world's feudal towns, and return a peaceful sky to the Tang Dynasty." ”

Li Keju said: "In this way, for my brother, I should be driven by Li Keyong." ”

Li Keju returned to Youzhou City, immediately rewarded the three armies, ordered the army, and an hour later, led the troops to secretly open the city gate and kill Li Keyong's camp tent.

Li Keyong's army had already fallen asleep, and the sentry was killed by Li Keju's Youzhou Junchun in the chaos, and the Shatuo soldiers in the camp were cut into meat sauce by the Youzhou army before they could react.

In a panic, three thousand Shatuo cavalry protected Li Keyong and fled with the abandoned camp overnight.

Of the 15,000 elites led by Li Keyong, only 6,000 remnants remained.

Huang Kui sent an envoy to ask Tang Zhangwei: "Li Ke has suffered a big defeat this time, did we take the opportunity to join forces with Li Keju to eliminate this scourge?" ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "Our army has joined forces with Zhuge Shuang, and Zhu Wen has also brought a large army here, so we might as well take Chengde Military Town first." ”

The envoy replied to Tang Zhangwei: "General Huang Kuo asked you to act cheaply. ”

At this time, Tang Zhangwei had already rushed to Zhenzhou City with battering rams and ladders.

Huang Chao saw that his younger brother and Zhuge Shuang had defeated Weibo Town, one of the three towns in Heshuo, and he was very happy to take Youzhou and Chengde.

Because, after Tang Xizong fled to Shuzhong, many Tang Dynasty feudal towns did not accept the canonization of Daqi, on the contrary, the coalition launched a counterattack, Huangchao had no way to rule Guanzhong stably, and the Central Plains region was full of beacons, and today this area also claimed to be loyal to Huangchao, and tomorrow it will be occupied by the generals of the Tang Dynasty.

Huang Chao sent Zhu Wen, and he said to Zhu Wen: "The three towns of Heshuo are the location of the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, you must lead the troops as soon as possible to join the infantry commander Huang Kui, and the Daqi Heyang Jiedu will make Zhuge Shuang take Chengde and Youzhou as soon as possible, and I will have another reward at that time." ”

Zhu Wen set off with an army of 40,000 troops, and before leaving, he tattooed words on the faces of each soldier. In this way, even if these people escaped, they would be captured and killed by the soldiers of the Yellow Nest and the Tang army.

Zhu Wen said to his subordinates: "This time I will attack Chengde, the two towns of Youzhou, if you take it, everyone will have a reward and a wife." ”

Although Tang Zhangwei and Zhuge Shuang had the advantage in strength, they were unwilling to fight a tough battle.

In the end, Tang Zhangwei and Zhuge Shuang agreed that whoever took Zhenzhou City first would occupy three-fifths of the land of Chengde Military Town.

Tang Zhangwei gathered all his subordinates, and he said to his subordinates: "Those who take the lead in attacking the city will be rewarded with a thousand acres of land." Those who cut off the head of Wang Jingchong, the envoy of the Chengde Festival, will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold and a thousand horses of silk cloth. ”

All the soldiers marched forward bravely, they jumped down from the big mound of earth piled up outside the city wall of Zhenzhou Mansion, and the two siege cities built by Tang Zhangwei, and climbed to the city wall with a ladder.

Chengde Jiedu made Wang Jingchong hurriedly order people to shoot arrows, and Tang Zhangwei's five hundred brave battalion dead soldiers, braved the rain of arrows, and entered the city of Zhenzhou.
